Georgia Harrison has revealed that she was “crippled with shame” after telling her parents about the sex tape that Stephen Bear filmed and leaked without consent.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star was secretly filmed having sex with the 2016 Celebrity Big Brother winner on his CCTV.
It was heard in court this week how Stephen and Georgia were filmed on the camera having sex in the garden of his Essex home on August 2, 2020.

Bear was accused of secretly filming him and Georgia having sex – without her consent and posting it on adult sites such as OnlyFans and PornHub.
Georgia, 28, has now told of how difficult it was for her to speak of her ordeal to family when she realised that Stephen had secretly filmed her.
Speaking to The Sun, the former Love Island beauty has spoken of the “shame” and “embarrassment” she felt.

“I was crippled by shame and embarrassment when the video was leaked,” she explained to the paper.
She added: “I was used in such a terrible way. It decimated my self-worth and my ability to trust.
“When I first realised the video was out there for everyone to see, my first thought was, ‘How am I going to tell my dad?’”

Stephen was first investigated by Essex Police in December 2020 after the explicit and intimate video was shared on a number of social media sites.
He was later convicted of disclosing a private sexual film after a video of him having sex with a woman was published on OnlyFans.
Georgia waived her right to anonymity in order to help other victims who experienced the same thing.
Bear has been released on bail and will be sentenced at the same court on January 31, 2023.
